Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum (RUB) is one of Germany?s leading research
universities. The university draws its strengths from both the
diversity and the proximity of scientific and engineering disciplines
on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables
students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of
academic subjects and faculties.
The climatology group (climate.rub.de), Institute of Geography, at
Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, offers a position in climate research, in
the field of atmospheric remote sensing and climate system analysis.
Depending on qualifications and experience of the candidate, the
position can either be used to pursue a PhD project (50% position) or
a PostDoc project (100% position).
Research in our group focuses on satellite-based and ground-based
remote sensing of clouds and aerosol, spatial and temporal patterns of
clouds and precipitation in observation data and climate models, as
well as on aerosol-cloud interactions. The successful candidate will
conduct independent research in one of these areas. She/he will have
received a Masters degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, have
a pronounced interest in climate science, and be confident in the
handling of large data sets and in numerical methods. The position
includes teaching obligations (2 hours/week for 50% position, 4
hours/week for 100%) and can be filled for one year initially, with
the possibility to extend. The salary follows German public service
category E13. The position is to be filled as soon as possible.
Please send your application, including a CV, a letter of motivation
and contact details of two potential referees to jan.cermak@rub.de.
Deadline for receipt of applications is 11 March 2012.
